RESUMEN

Objective To discuss the application of double parallel stent for preserving arch branch vessels during thoracic endovascular aortic repair.Methods During the period from June 2015 to June 2016,double parallel stents were carried out in 9 cases at department of vascular surgery,the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Results One patient died of an acute ischemic stroke and subsequently resulted in multiple organ failure after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.Eight patients received an aorta CT angiography during follow up at 1,3,6 months.During follow up,the patency rate for double parallel stents was 100％.There were no endoleak in 8 cases.Conclusion Double parallel stents are suited to patients with emergency situation and unsuited to open surgery in complicated aortic arch pathologies.Surgical approach is determined by preoperative evaluation.Prevention of endoleak and stroke is important in all cases.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO), also called Buerger's disease, is a chronic peripheral vascular occlusive disease. It is an obliterative vasculitis characterized by arterial thrombosis and strongly associated with tobacco exposure. The pathogenesis and etiology of TAO are not well understood, but genetic factors may be important in its development. A case-control study was undertaken to identify genetic factors potentially involved in the pathogenesis of TAO in a Xinjiang Uyghur population of China, where TAO is common. METHODS: We ascertained 177 TAO patients by clinical screening and 86 healthy individuals from the HAPMAP database. The genotypes of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the participants were identified using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 to perform a genome wide association study (GWAS). The association between the SNPs and incidence of TAO was quantified using race stratification exposure. RESULTS: Through a case-control GWAS study 26 SNPs were significantly associated with incidence of TAO following a Bonferroni correction. However, after genomic control correction for population stratification only three of these SNPS were highly significantly associated with TAO: rs376511 in IL17RC (OR = 24.4, 95% CI:8.68 - 68.62, p < 0.0001), rs7632505 in SEMA5B (OR = 29.47, 95% CI:7.16 - 121.3, p < 0.0001), and rs10178082 (OR = 18.09, 95% CI: 6.56 - 49.92, p < 0.0001) showed a significant risk of TAO in the Uyghur population. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows an association between these 3 SNPs and susceptibility to TAO in the Uyghur population, suggesting that polymorphisms in the IL-17RC and Sema 5B genes may pre-dispose individuals in this population to development of TAO. These findings require replication.

RESUMEN

Objective To evaluate thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type B aortic dissection.Methods Chnical data were reviewed on 126 cases with type B aortic dissection undergoing endovascular aortic repair in our hospital from January 2006 to April 2011.There were 86 male patients and 40 female patients,age from 32 to 82 years.The stent- grafts were introduced via femoral arteriotomy.Stent-grafts were implanted to blockade tears of aortic dissection under the guidance of DSA.Postoperatively patients were followed-up by angiography and imiging for endoleak,stent migration,and fracture of stent-graft.Results In all cases,the aortic dissection tears were closed,true lumens were opened,and organ function was restored.There were not complications such as internal hemorrhage due to trauma or stent displacement on CTA from 3 to 63 months after endovascular therapy.Procedure was successful in all 126 cases,157 stents were released,2 cases died in the perioperative period,1 case died during the followed-up.A breach was found at the end of the stent in 12 cases,endovascular aortic repair redone successfully with a retrograde type A dissection found during follow-up.Conclusions Endovascular aortic repair is safe and effective for patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection with a favorable outcomes.

RESUMEN

Objective To evaluate improved effect for deep venous valve function after superficial vein surgery of lower extremity in the intermediate stage.Methods Totally 43 patients (55 limbs) with varicose veins of lower extremity were enrolled to accept surgical management of vein systems in our department from March 2006 to October 2006.All patients were respectively followed up after 6 months and 4 years about the changes of deep venous valve function with color Doppler ultrasonography.Results Thirty-nine patients’ deep venous valve function kept well up to now,and there was no significant difference between the two results.Four patients without proximal saphenous vein ligation recurred,and there was reflux in deep venous.Conclusion Endovenous laser treatment and ablation of varicose veins of lower extremity with deep venous insufficiency could improve deep venous valve function effectively.Proximal great saphenous vein ligation is important for successful operation.
